Hi everyone! I’m Davide, the creator of Nolxy. Every project I worked on needed the same things: API key auth, rate limiting, caching, and DDoS protection. I found myself rebuilding the same gateway logic over and over. Existing enterprise tools felt like overkill for a solo dev, while "simple" solutions often lacked the technical depth I needed. So I built Nolxy - a drop-in layer for any existing API. Zero code changes required. You just point your traffic to it and you're good to go. A few technical highlights: 🛡️ Multi-layer DDoS (ProxyShield): We don't just block at the app level. Packets are dropped at the kernel level (iptables) and TCP sockets are terminated before HTTP parsing. Bans propagate across all nodes instantly. ⚡ ~0.3ms Gateway Overhead: Our two-tier cache (in-process + Redis) is checked before auth runs. On a cache hit, the request never even reaches your backend. 🔄 Transform Pipelines: Mask PII, extract JWT claims as headers, rename fields, or convert XML↔JSON - all configurable per route with no backend changes. 📊 Native Analytics: 30+ fields per request. Get latency breakdowns, geo-data, bot detection, and threat scoring out of the box. No Grafana or extra setup needed. Currently in beta - free to try, no credit card required.
